And David got up in the morning; now the word of the Lord had come to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, and I will do it to you.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let us come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So David made selection of the disease; and the time was the days of the grain-cutting, when the disease came among the people, causing the death of seventy thousand men from Dan as far as Beer-sheba.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And when the hand of the angel was stretched out in the direction of Jerusalem, for its destruction, the Lord had regret for the evil, and said to the angel who was sending destruction on the people, It is enough; do no more. And the angel of the Lord wa

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And when David saw the angel who was causing the destruction of the people, he said to the Lord, Truly, the sin is mine; I have done wrong: but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand be against me and against my family.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And that day Gad came to David and said to him, Go up, and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

לַֽיהוָה֙ (יהוָה֙) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So David went up, as Gad had said and as the Lord had given orders.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To give you a price for your grain-floor, so that I may put up an altar to the Lord, and the disease may be stopped among the people.

לַֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

All this does the servant of my lord the king give to the king. And Araunah said, May the Lord your God be pleased with your offering!

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the king said to Araunah, No, but I will give you a price for it; I will not give to the Lord my God burned offerings for which I have given nothing. So David got the grain-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

לַיהוָ֥ה (יהוָ֥ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And there David put up an altar to the Lord, making burned offerings and peace-offerings. So the Lord gave ear to his prayer for the land, and the disease came to an end in Israel.

לַֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And she said to him, My lord, you took an oath by the Lord your God and gave your word to your servant, saying, Truly, Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom.

בַּֽיהוָ֤ה (יהוָ֤ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the king took an oath, and said, By the living Lord, who has been my saviour from all my troubles,

יְהוָ֕ה Yah.weh “of Yahweh”

As I took an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, Certainly Solomon your son will become king after me, seated on my seat in my place; so will I do this day.

בַּיהוָ֨ה (יהוָ֨ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, answering the king, said, So be it: and may the Lord, the God of my lord the king, say so.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may he be with Solomon and make the seat of his authority greater than that of my lord King David.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then the king said, May the God of Israel be praised, who has given one of my seed to be king in my place this day and has let my eyes see it.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And keep the orders of the Lord your God, walking in his ways, keeping his laws and his orders and his rules and his words, as they are recorded in the law of Moses; so that you may do well in all you do and wherever you go,

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera the Benjamite of Bahurim, who put a bitter curse on me on the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to see me at Jordan, and I gave him my oath by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death by the

בַֽיהוָה֙ (יהוָה֙) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And he said, You saw how the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had the idea that I would be their king; but now the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was given to him by the Lord.

מֵיְהוָ֖ה (יְהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.

בַּֽיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now by the living Lord, who has given me my place on the seat of David my father, and made me one of a line of kings, as he gave me his word, truly Adonijah will be put to death this day.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “of Yahweh”

So Solomon let Abiathar be priest no longer, so that he might make the word of the Lord come true which he said about the sons of Eli in Shiloh.
